How does the KA hand mixer do on low speed as far as throwing stuff all over the place?

I bought a Cuisinart hand mixer a few years ago and I hate it. Even on low it's just too strong. Throws whatever you're trying to mix all over the counter, etc. I'm thinking of getting a KA but I'm afraid it will do the same thing.

I have the KA 9 speed hand mixer and it is fantastic. It does not throw things at all on low speed. I don't have the splatter I used to get with every other hand mixer I've owned over the years. I would definitely recommend it.

I agree with Qgirl26, I have the 9 speed, and on the lower two or three, I can pick the beaters up out of the bowl and allow them to "clean off" at the low speeds without anything slinging outside the bowl. Love my 9 speed and wouldn't want to go back to a lesser model.

Thanks so much for the recommendations! Looks as if there will be a KA hand mixer in my future. Really looking forward to not being splattered on anymore!

You will love it, MathisFan! Like mominohio said, I wouldn't want to go back either. It's a really nice mixer.

Just an FYI, in case it matters - the KA hand mixers they sell on QVC are made in China.

I don't know if that means that all of their hand mixers are now made in China, or if it's just the ones that QVC sells.

I had noticed that too. And I think all of their hand mixers are, at least the ones I come across. I hate to see another old American company moving some (or any for that matter) of their production overseas.

Chickenbutt--you are correct. All of the KA handmixers are made in China. My KA 9 speed was a piece of junk and so was the replacement that they sent me. I sent them all back. I just use with my stand mixer.

Thank you to everyone that responded, you gave me places I hadn't tried looking, and gave me some information about the different speed options I hadn't thought of asking. Thank you again for all your help.
